The new Cybertruck in the US comes standard with Pirelli Scorpion ATR or Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires that have a tread depth of 8 to 9 millimetres. One car owner was shocked when after only a few months he measured that his Cybertruck tyres had only 3-4 millimeters of tread left. Although this is more than the legal limit of 1.6 mm in the US, tyres with this little remaining tread are generally considered worn, especially in winter conditions.

As reported, the owner of a Cybertruck from the US state of Colorado was surprised that his car “chewed” more than half of the tyre profile during just one flight, but experts believe that this could be expected from an extremely heavy and powerful car like which is the Cybertruck Cyberbeast which has 845 hp.

The Cybertruck’s owner admits to using Beast Mode “a few times,” but insists the pickup was driven on paved streets and highways. He claims his Cybertruck has never been off-road or reached top speed. Even before, many Cybertruck owners have complained on social media about how quickly their cars wear out their tyres.

But it seems that all Cybertuck owners will have to put up with that problem and additional costs because it is a vehicle that weighs about 3 tons without a driver, passengers and cargo. Regardless of the driving style, tires on such a heavy vehicle will wear out quickly and owners can only dream that their tires will last 40 to 80 thousand kilometres like on an average car. After all, all owners of large and heavy SUVs, especially electric ones, have long been aware that they must be prepared for large expenses for tyres and their frequent replacements.
